Best Coffee Shop DUNKIN’ DONUTS
954-385-0858 100 Weston Road 954-659-0930 4426 Weston Road www.daniamg.com
D
unkin’ Donuts is America’s favorite all-day, everyday stop for coffee and baked goods. Weston residents have been starting their day with a cup of Dunkin’ Donuts famous coffee for the past 15 years. Franchise owners Ken and Clint Privett opened their first restaurant on Weston Road near State Road 84 back in 1999, followed by their shop at the other end of Weston Road just north of Griffin Road. Today, the partners own 17 Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants throughout South Florida. One of the reasons Dunkin’ Donuts has been able to expand so rapidly is because of its popularity. Any time of the day or night you will see people popping in to enjoy a cup of its award-winning coffee, or picking up a package to brew at home. Globally, Dunkin’ Donuts sells 1.7 billion cups of coffee each year; that’s more than 30 cups every second. Dunkin’ Donuts is still using the original proprietary coffee blend recipe established by the company founder back in 1950. But today there are over 15,000 different ways to order your coffee. While the coffee may be the same, Dunkin’ Donuts has certainly changed over the years. Now it offers a complete menu of sandwiches, as well as bagels and muffins, to complement its delicious donuts. Guests can rent the conference room space, with catering service, at the 4426 Weston Road location.

AG USA Gymnastics has always been a leader in Fort Lauderdale gymnastics. In recent years, Owners Marissa and Michael Zoldan have transformed the “new” TAG USA Gymnastics into the “Home of Champions.” It is one of the top gymnastics, trampoline, power tumbling and cheer centers in Florida. TAG USA is recognized nationally for its championship team and famous guest coaches, making it the best place to learn, train and play. TAG USA’s 2013 season was highlighted with a National Champion in trampoline, Boys’ National qualifiers, and back-to-back Girls USAG Level 3 and Level 4 Florida State Championships. In addition to TAG USA’s own champions, it attracted the attention of Olympic Gold Medalist Aly Raisman who visited the gym to train some of the elite team athletes and pose for pictures with the gymnasts. Many of these champions began in TAG USA’s popular recreational classes for boys and girls, with classes for all ages, from one to 16, and all levels, from beginners to advanced. TAG USA’s progressive programs will give your child a high sense of self-esteem, accomplishment, and that “championship” feeling. The TAG USA difference is evident the moment you walk into the gym. It is the area’s largest facility and offers the most equipment; athletes do not share space or wait in line. TAG USA classes are monitored by two floor managers with lesson plans taught by certified coaches. In addition, parents appreciate the convenient schedules, large viewing areas, and competitive prices.

r. Richard Zang is a third generation Chinese doctor with over 20 years of experience and expertise. He attended school in China, where both his mother and grandfather practice Traditional Chinese Medicine. He holds a master’s degree in health science and Oriental medicine in the United States. Dr. Zang is a Diplomat of Acupuncture certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Acupuncture, which originated in China, is one the oldest, most commonly used forms of medicine. It utilizes very thin sterile needles inserted into specific points on the body to stimulate and improve qi (energy) flow. Dr. Zang is one of few acupuncturists to offer both the Auricular and Scalp needle treatments. Depending upon the ailment, different treatment may be needed. Dr. Zang also performs acupressure. It is similar to acupuncture, except acupressure uses touch at a specific point on the body to release stress and improve health. Dr. Zang often uses this in combination with Tui Na massage. This technique includes osteopathy adjustment which is similar to a chiropractic adjustment, but much gentler. Dr. Zang uses a variety of pressures and strokes along the body’s energy pathways to relax muscles and stimulate the flow of energy throughout the body. As a Chinese medicine practitioner, Dr. Zang is also able to prescribe herbal medicine.

PARK IMPROVEMENTS

T
he City of Weston has embarked on a number of park improvement projects this year. Peace Mound Park is undergoing a massive renovation to address accessibility issues. Once completed in June, the park will feature a new ADA-compliant playground structure with swings, ADA compliant walkways, and additional parking spaces including a handicap space. In addition, the park will get two new shelters, LED walkway lighting, new deck material for the bridge and fishing dock, new park benches, and interpretive plaques to educate visitors. The renovations also call for more than 100 additional trees. Emerald Estates Park will also receive additional parking spaces and new sidewalks to meet ADA requirements. In addition, the tennis courts will be resurfaced and new outdoor fitness equipment installed before the project is completed in July, weather permitting. Other park improvements throughout the city address athletic interests. A new sand volleyball court was built at Eagle Point Park to meet this sport’s growing popularity. The football and lacrosse fields at Tequesta Trace Park received drainage upgrades. The basketball courts and Regional Park and the track at Tequesta Trace Park were resurfaced. Upcoming projects include installing artificial turf on the underused hockey courts at Regional Park to make them available for other sports.

Dr. Therrien specializes in pediatric optometry, specialty contact lens fittings, and the treatment and management of ocular disease. She offers “state of the art” eyecare in a warm, caring environment. This includes Wave Contact Lenses and Orthokeratology. Wave lenses are custom designed from your corneal “fingerprint” to create a custom lens that follows almost every tiny shape on your cornea. Wave lenses offer unrivaled comfort and sharper optics. Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, is a revolutionary, reversible, non-surgical therapeutic procedure for temporary vision correction. Custom lenses gently reshape the cornea while the patient sleeps, allowing users to go all day without needing glasses or contacts. It should come as no surprise that Weston Family Eyecare is continually voted Best Eyecare Center. Dr. Therrien’s commitment to excellence and patient service precedes her reputation as a dedicated and compassionate physician in the vision care field.

Start your meal with a bowl of I Love Tacos’ fresh-made guacamole and chips. The restaurant serves a selection of traditional Mexican dishes such as sopes de cochinita pibil (roasted pork sopes), tacos de carne asada (marinated skirt steak tacos), tacos al pastor (chili rubbed pork mixed with pineapple chunks), rajas con crema (poblano chile with cream), queso fundido con chorizo (melted cheese with sausage). Chef Covarrubias’ specialties are always a great choice.

no scars, no pain. The Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a unique FDA approved technique, minimally invasive, eliminating the use of scalpels, staples and anesthesia. It simply harvests individual hair follicles from the back of the head where hair growth is dominant to be carefully re-implanted into the balding or thinning targeted areas, providing a natural redistribution. The hair transplant is a single day, outpatient procedure performed with the patient fully awake.
